Supernova is a very bold and
intense shade of magenta/reddish pink with a slightly shimmery, golden finish.
The packaging is typical for MAC blushers: black and sturdy.

Supernova is not the easiest
blusher to apply, party because it is so intense and it is not that easy to
blend. The texture is soft and smooth (that’s what I love about mineralized products),
it’s easily buildable and (mentioned above) it is VERY intense and highly
pigmented. You really need just a small amount of product to fully cover your
both cheeks. Like, a REALLY small amount. When I first used it, I put on just
the amount that I do with my regular blush and boy; I looked like a male zebra
finch (the one with really bright, red cheeks). Lol.

The finish is frosty / shimmery
and it looks lovely on the cheeks. The lasting power with a foundation
underneath is: after about 6 hours it still looked bright although it faded
slightly. I wore it for 8 hours in total. Overall, it lasted quite long. It
performs better than most blushers I own.

Similar shades: There is not anything quite similar to Supernova that
I own, the only three that are comparable are is Gosh Natural Touch Cream
Blusher in Lusty Pink, which is pinker, lighter, brighter and has a creamy
finish. NYX Cream Blush in Hot Pink, which is much, much brighter and pinker
and has a creamy finish. Also Sleek Makeup Blush in Pomegranate, which is more
brown-ish pink but has a similar finish. None of them is as intense as MAC in
Supernova.

I would definitely recommend it to those of you who are not afraid of
bold and bright colours. Supernova might not be a holy grail of blushers but it
is certainly worth having. I would consider getting more. A.
